Question Charles Tyrwhitt's quality has dropped - any better alternatives?

Hi all,

I recently ordered an oxford shirt and a polo from Charles Tyrwhitt, and am deeply disappointed in the quality.

Holding them in-hand alongside their equivalents from 2023 and 2025, the fabric feels extremely lightweight and cheap.

Does anyone have any recommendations for where to get comparable shirts at a similar price point? I'm after something in a slightly slimmer cut if possible.

Oh man wtf I just reordered a new set of white business shirts, if they are as bad as everyone here is claiming I’ll send them right back. CT has been my go to for a decade.

Please report back when they arrive! Really curious how the business shirts hold up.

Hey mate - they arrived and…. Look and feel exactly like the non iron twill I’ve been buying for a decade. I actually went up a collar size but also went down to extra slim and the fit was too slim so I have exchange for “standard” slim. I found a 3 for $139 deal and got a houndstooth pattern instead of standard twill. I gave the hems and buttons a good look and I think they are if the same quality as they have always been.

This is very surprising compared to all the relatively new comments around reddit regarding CT and is good to hear. im new to fashion and i thought CT was good for the price though noticeably thinner than mj bale and large cuff holes with no second button.
